“I wrote a book, ‘Modelland,’ many years ago, and this graphic novel is based on that, but different,” Tyra told People. “We wanted to do a graphic novel because we feel like the audience is very visual, so we want to tell the story with visuals in a medium that they can connect with. I’m not sure if my core family of fans and the future Modelland family of fans are comic book readers so I said let’s flip it on its head and use real people who will be used in the graphic novel, through a combination of photographs and drawings.”
Tyra noted that she “coined it Comic Couture.”
“We are dropping new characters every day at 10 a.m. [through Monday], and they are all very diverse, and we are casting for each of them,” Tyra added. “The reason I started Modelland is I want to bring modeling to the masses. I want everybody to have the opportunity to be fantasy versions of themselves. I am beyond excited!”
